Mariquita, first published in 1982, has become the most widely read novel about the CHamoru experience during World War II on Guam.

In this updated edition of the classic, Perez Howard revisits the story and adds more details, photos, and letters. It is a continuing tribute to his mother whose legacy lives on in the memories of all who read it.
